Improved risk tone at the start of the week

U.S. and China are said to be discussing Chinese market access and trade in a more calmer way. That's significant improvement over last week's retaliatory rhetorics. Better risk tone to start the week has seen JPY and CHF pairs trade higher. EUR/CHF appears ready to challenge last week's high near 1.175 with 1.185 and 1.20 the next targets.

U.S. RETAIL SALES NUMBERS

U.S. Retail Sales Numbers

As the most important piece of U.S. data this week and the only report that could have altered the market’s expectations for tapering, U.S. retail sales successfully united the movements in U.S. assets. The dollar traded higher against all of the major currencies as Treasury yields increased and equities weakened. Even commodity prices were driven lower by the rise in the dollar. All of this price is consistent with increased expectations for Fed tapering and is a b…

Can Global Youth Unemployment Lead to WWIII?

I read an article in Wall Street Journal about Pope Francis visiting Brazil and addressing youth unemployment. Pope called upon leaders to serve the poor and it is certainly true for any form of leadership. Recently, the International Labor Organization (ILO) published a damning report on global youth unemployment earlier this year, highlighting that in the global labor market 75 million youth are unemployed. It just concerns me that with increased globalisation, and manufacturing in the West b…

I hope you are right. But remember the state of economy in Germany and the rest of the world before WWII? I hope it’s a stretch, but I would not overestimate our leaders and modern civilization.

Одна из участниц конкурса живёт в Южной Америке и говорит об уровне жизни в странах на этом континенте-он отстаёт от европейского лет на 5,у меня есть знакомые в странах Азии и Восточной Европы,а также Африки,финансовое положение которых катастрофическое...люди на грани...если в Европе начнутся какие то волнения не думаю,что они просто успокоятся,так как и там ситуация далеко не радужная..

I completely agree with you. It doesn’t take much. How long can people last without jobs? Especially young people (17 to 25). It causes a lot of frustration and builds a lot of anger. We already see massive revolutions throughout the world and with an ongoing conflict in the Middle East…..I hope I’m just being very pessimistic, but WWII is not an unrealistic stretch.

Dark Secrets of Your Therapist.

I came across this interesting (and truthful) article about therapy and therapists. I agree with it and thought it’s worth sharing. In a nutshell, the person on the couch isn’t the only one with problems. Your therapist will never tell you: 1.“Your childhood was bad? Wait till you see your bill.” Among those who seek psychological help in the U.S., 40% undergo therapy with a social worker, psychiatrist or psychologist. All that talk doesn’t come cheap. There is no set charge, but therapis…

В России также появился термин гиперактивный ребёнок и мода прибегать к услугам психотерапевта но,пока столь массового поражения кошельков россиян в этой связи не произошло)).... мне жаль американцев,русские склонны решать такие вопросы на кухне с друзьями и родственниками...может оттого мы духовней?))

Yes, well America is a very capitalistic (or business driven) country and Americans are very much into therapy. To the point that it became a business and it’s definitely a bit profit making business. Once you go down that path with therapists, they definitely know how to milk you. I agree with you. To me, it’s very foreign concept.
